I'm almost ready to take this entire thing and throw it out the window and carry on coding meagre HTML files with the biggest technological sepremecy being the add JS and external CSS file switching.
I've installed PHP. I've installed MySQL. I've installed Apache server. I've installed/unzipped phpMyAdmin
I go to
http://localhost and nothing.
I know there is alot to get this started. SDE should know where I am so far.
PHP works because when I had Badblue running it would show php as showing. I gave made no changes to php configurations so that should all be working.
MySQL works because I can create that initial database using command prompt as instructed by sde himself.
Apache is installed with no changes made to it. It is currently sitting in my system tray with a nasty looking red square. When I double click it to see what's going on there is NOTHING. Not a sausage in either boxes. When I over over the systray icon it says I have no services installed...but I do...don't I?
This may all sound simple to you guys and that I'm constantly in need of somebody to hold my hand during this setup but the documentation isn't in baby language. Granted that people who need baby language are not fit to meddle with MySQL/php affairs but damnit!! I can do this!! I just need to get it all started!!
What I want to do is be able to double click a php file and it will appear just like a webpage without the 'Open With' box coming up.
Any help much appreciated.
